One of the most well-known Scotsman Sir Sean Connery thinks independence would be a positive step for Scotland.

The Bond star said: "The "Yes" campaign has centred on a positive vision for Scotland. It is rooted in inclusiveness, equality and that core democratic value that the people of Scotland are the best guardians of their own future."

While Frankie Boyle, not known for his reticence on coming forward on any matter, has been an avid yes vote supporter on Twitter, declaring: “It's an aye from me, man.”

Even A-lister Gerard Butler has had a thing or two to say about the whole affair.

"I can't see any reason why Scotland shouldn't be independent,' he said. "It's a different country with different attitudes, people and outlook, so why not?”

The author, who has made a £1million donation to the Better Together campaign, writes: "My hesitance at embracing independence has nothing to do with lack of belief in Scotland's remarkable people or its achievements.

"The simple truth is that Scotland is subject to the same 21st Century pressures as the rest of the world. It must compete in the same global markets, defend itself from the same threats and navigate what still feels like a fragile economic recovery."

Also fighting against independence is footballing legend Sir Alex Ferguson,

The former Manchester United manager said: "Eight-hundred-thousand Scots, like me, live and work in other parts of the United Kingdom. We don't live in a foreign country; we are just in another part of the family of the UK.

"Scots living outside Scotland but inside the UK might not get a vote in the referendum, but we have a voice and we care deeply about our country."

Also pushing to stick with Britain is singer Susan Boyle, actress Emma Thompson and rockers David Bowie and Sir Mick Jagger.

While Scottish Doctor Who legend David Tennant thinks people are missing the bigger picture.

He said: "Why do we want to become smaller? Surely we want to expand and look outward?”

And even singer Sharleen Spiteri has voiced her opinion, adding: "As far as I'm concerned, I'm British. And, yeah, I'm Scottish but I feel I'm part of the UK."
